United to fly Houston-Chicago on Solazyme biofuel

(Reuters) - United Airlines, the world's largest air
carrier, will make the first U.S. commercial flight using an
"advanced biofuel" on Monday, algae-based biofuel maker Solazyme
Inc said.

The flight from Houston to Chicago will take the Boeing 737-800
from the former home city of Continental Airlines to the base of
United, which took over Continental last year to form United
Continental Holdings Inc.
